Original file name is being lost with no way to retrieve it

[sammyaxe]

When files are being put on tmp folder they get renamed to something like that: laravel-filepond8BQWpd.png

any way to retrieve the orginal file name when I want to put into permanent storage?

Thanks

This is currently the expected behaviour. Filepond works by handling uploading the files for you, but you should take care of file metadata yourself in your own javascript. In your case you should just send the name of the original files along with the server ids to your controller. I'm going to close this issue, but feel free to ask if anything is unclear.

Do this in you Vue components:

        <file-pond
            name="file"
            ref="pond"
            :server="server"
            @processfile="processFile" />

    methods: {
        createFileObject(file) {
            return file ? {
                id: file.id,
                fileExtension: file.fileExtension,
                fileSize: file.fileSize,
                fileType: file.fileType,
                filename: file.filename,
                filenameWithoutExtension: file.filenmeWithoutExtension,
                serverId: file.serverId
            } : ''
        },
        processFile(e, file) {
            this.localValue = this.multiple ?
                _.uniqBy(_.filter(_.concat(this.createFileObject(file),this.localValue), (file) => {
                    return _.isObject(file)
                })) :
                this.createFileObject(file);
        },
   }

Now when you upload a file to server, you have all information about uploaded file. Like this Picture

Now post localValue to server with Ajax!!!
